Is there a problem with this question?

Q: Using the loop construct, add the current value of number to the numbers array. Inside of the loop, add 1 to the number variable. If the numbers array has more than 3 items, use the break keyword to exit the loop.

numbers = [] number = 0

Sorry to be picky, but it seems that in order to answer this question correctly, the final output of your numbers array has to have 3 items, but the question clearly states that your array should have more than 3 items, i.e. 4.

You are right, it only passed when I included this condition:

break if numbers.length >= 3

And it's weird, because I'm almost sure the question was different a few weeks back when I was doing this course and there was no problem like this. Please contact the support (link on the right), link them the challenge and explain the problem, they should correct this shortly.

Good catch.
